Thanks people for reviewing, I was really encouraged by the stuff you said.

They had all, minus Jack and General Landry, crammed into Sam's lab. They were just sitting or standing in silence. Alex was twitching. Teal'c was standing calmly. Sam was sitting at her desk. Daniel was playing with a pen. And Cameron was pacing up and down. They looked like people that had no idea what to do with themselves. They felt like it too.

Cameron was first to break the silence.

"What do you guys think he's talking to Landry about?"

Alex spoke up. "He's moving him to Homeworld Security."

"WHAT?" Sam and Daniel ejaculated.

"Are you still here?" said an irritated Cameron.

Alex had had enough.

"Look, Cameron, I don't know who the hell you think you are, but if you think you can boss me around you've got another think coming. I worked hard to get where I am right now. I ran away from a children's home. I endured training that most adults can't do. I was found out and for some mad reason, they wanted to keep me in the army. But I was too young to serve anywhere on earth; it would have been seen as an outrage. So I ended at the SGC. I at least hoped to get onto a team. But I didn't, do I waited. And now I have got onto a team, you decide to screw it up for me. Well it's not gonna to happen. You think I'm not tough enough? Fine. We can wrestle or something. And believe after everything I've been through, you should be easy enough to beat."

Alex stopped, out of breath. Now he was for it. Straight back to England and the home. Great. Nice way to screw yourself, Rider.

There was a silence. Broken only be General O'Neill clapping from the back of the room where he'd come in, in the middle of Alex's outburst. Slowly, they all started clapping. Alex was bewildered. He'd lost his temper and they were clapping him?

Cameron grinned. "You wanna join SG1? Open door as far as I'm concerned. Just don't start crying when I beat you at that wrestling."

Alex grinned. Sg1. Holy moly.

"Jeez, Rider, your grin gets any wider and it'll spit your face open." Jack commented.

Then he chuckled. Everyone looked at him.

"What?" Cameron asked.

"Well, I was just remembering a certain young captain who challenged me to arm wrestle the first time we met."

A twinkle entered Jack's eye. Sam blushed.

"Never did happen, did it Carter?"

"No sir."

"Pity."

"Maybe for me sir."

"Oh, really? And why not a pity for me?"

"Well, with all due respect, sir, I'd have beaten you hollow."

"Well, with all due respect, Carter I'd have…."

Jack stopped as he realised that everyone was looking at him strangely. He cleared his throat loudly.

"Haven't you guys got work or something?"

Cameron opened his mouth but Alex butted in.

"We wanna know who the new head of the SGC is, sir."

"I thought I told you that that information was classified?" Jack frowned.

"Nope" Alex shrugged.

"Oh well. Must've slipped my mind…" Jack smiled.

He then walked out of the door, pausing to deliver his parting shot.

"Have fun, kids!"

Alex had been in SG1 for two days and so far… nada. El zilcho. Nothing. Jack had left pretty much as soon as he came, saying something about "down time" and "gotta go and see my buddy Thor!"

Alex was sharing Sam's lab so that she could show him the ropes around the SGC and so that he wouldn't have to share with Daniel, who would periodically get so emersed in an artefact he would forget about anything else. Sam grew to like him a lot, even though he couldn't stand blue jello.

Then, out of the blue, on Alex's third day in the SGC, a klaxon sounded throughout the SGC. "Unscheduled offworld activation. This is not a drill. Unscheduled offworld activation…"

As SG1 pilled into the gateroom, Landry was having some problems. One of the computer guys shouted, "The iris won't close sir!"

Sam took one look at SG1 and they all magically produced guns from somewhere at the same time. It would have been quite impressive if they weren't in potential danger. Alex smiled grimly. He had been getting bored. At last, there would be some action!

Cameron whispered to him, "I'll cover you if you get a little bit scared…"

Alex threw him a look. Cameron shrugged. A wormhole opened and SG1 braced themselves.

Jack O'Neill came staggering through the gate backwards, firing at something on the other side.

"CLOSE THE IRIS!" he yelled.

As soon as he said this, four hefty looking Jaffa with big dangerous looking weapons appeared through the Stargate. SG1 fired at them and they went back through the gate.

One of the computer guys yelled "EUREKA!" and closed the iris.
